Lost Stitches (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

If you can’t stand the criticism

put down your pen

Instead take up knitting

but caution the thread

Too thick and your stifled

too thin and your bare

As needles purl over

—what hides in despair

 

(Dreamsleep: October, 2022)

 

 

Memories In The Stream

 

Older than you were

younger than I am

Your memory grows inside me

keeper of the flame

 

Each day we spent together

our boyhoods reassured

Connected to forever

—we never asked for more

 

(Rosemont Pennsylvania: October, 2022)

    Oh boy, two in one! And quite different in tone, to each other. I guess 1 post in 24 hrs could bring that about.
